The five-man bowling team of Jody VanLiew, T.J. Mento, Joe Conti Jr., Jim Zimmerman and Derek Magno broke a 16-year-old Syracuse Bowling Association record for high team series Sept. 28 at AMF Strike N Spare.

Team Magno set the city record with a three-game total of 3,779 to eclipse the previous mark of 3,763 set by National Cleanway in 1995. Team Magno rolled individual games of 1,262, 1,205 and 1,312 en route to the milestone.

Magno led his team to the record with a 780 three-game set including a high game of 279. Mento scored a team-high 299 game and finished with a 766 series followed by VanLiew (257-753), Conti (258-740) and Zimmerman (279-740). Zimmerman was a substitute bowler for Team Magno in place of Kris O’Donaghy II.
